SUMMARY:Olive Oil Tasting on the Farm
DESCRIPTION:Spend an afternoon with us learning what goes into producing a local olive oil\, and tasting the differences among the oils.\nwith \nColleen McGlynn\, DaVero Farm and Winery \nRuss Messing\, Deergnaw Olive Oil \nDawn Lindelof\, Moon Dog Olive Farm \nNancy Lilly\, Tallgrass Ranch \nTickets are $20 each for Slow Food members\, $30 for non-members. \nEach producer will describe the production of their olive oil\, from the selection of tree varieties through their cultivation\, to harvesting and pressing of the olives\, and blending and bottling the oil.\nTo better appreciate our small production local producers\, read Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil\, by Tom Mueller before attending this event! \nDaVero\n“Grow what belongs here. Be patient.” This simple premise summarizes everything we’ve learned\, and guides us in everything we do — how we care for our land\, how we farm\, how we make wine and olive oil and the myriad other products from this magical place. \nIn 1988\, after careful research and some incredible luck\, we took cuttings from an ancient olive grove in the hills to the east of Lucca\, in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. The trees from which we took the cuttings are over 800 years old\, and the farm has been in the same family since the 1400s! While the varieties are common across Tuscany\, and the proportions typical (50% Leccino\, 25% Frantoio\, 15% Maurino\, and 10% Pendolino)\, that grove has very distinct clones — essentially\, sub-varietals — whose fruit makes an oil with a flavor profile unlike any other. \nDeergnaw\nDeergnaw Olive Oil is a unique blend. We don’t think that there is any other oil that has the particular varietals of our oil. From Lombardia in the north of Italy\, the Cassaliva; from Liguria\, also in the north\, Taggiasca; from Puglia in the extreme south-east\, Coratina; and from Apulia\, also in the south\, Nocciara. There is also a smattering of Picholine from France and a touch of Pendolino from Tuscany as the pollinator. \nApproximately 700 trees comprise our three and a half acre orchard. We planted the trees\, mostly one gallon size\, fifteen years ago and the first fruit appeared three years later. Since then\, each year we have had an ever-greater yield. This year the orchard produced 7 tons of olives\, which translated into 150 cases of 500 milliliter bottles compared to 69 cases in ’07. \nMoon Dog\nPlanted and farmed by two crazy people that didn’t think about the work–they just wanted to make their slice of the world a little more delicious! \nMoon Dog Olive Farm is planted to traditional Tuscan varieties; Leccino\, Frantoio\, and Pendolino. The 280 trees are organically farmed by Dawn and Chris Lindelof in their “spare time.” Moon Dog Olive Farm is located in the Northern part of Alexander Valley in Cloverdale\, not far from the Russian River. This Extra Virgin Olive Oil is only available at the farm and at local markets and special events. Every vintage is a little different. But the fruity fragrance and spicy finish is definitive in every bottling. We can’t wait to show you our place. \nTallgrass\nTallgrass Ranch Estate Blend Olive Oil is fruity with a medium amount of bitterness and pungency. This is not achieved merely by combining all the gallons of oil that we produce. Instead\, each year we hold the oil from each harvest day separately so that we can gauge the unique qualities of each batch. Only then do we make blending decisions\, hoping to be able to use all of the oil produced each year in our Estate Blend\, but sometimes needing to exclude some. \nThe Italian trees\, primarily Frantoio and Leccino\, supported by pollinators Pendolino\, Moraiolo\, and Maurino\, provide the backbone of the blend\, having high levels of fruitiness\, green and grassy touches\, as well as high polyphenols—that bitterness and pungency that might make you cough\, but which also provide the anti-oxidants that protect both the oil and your own body. The French Columella\, and its pollinator\, Aglandau\, provide a more buttery fruitiness\, with notes of apple and green banana\, and much less bitterness and pungency. The resulting blend is a great complement to many cuisines.

SUMMARY:Keeping Traditions As We Move Forward: Sonoma County North Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:On world Terra Madre Day\, we will come together virtually to report on the status and health of our chapter\, and to share some of our personal food traditions. Please join us!\nThere is no cost for the meeting but please register so you can receive the Zoom link. \nTerra Madre Day celebrates local food on a global scale. Every December 10th thousands of people around the world organize celebrations of good\, clean and fair food. Terra Madre Day brings together all who share the vision of a food system that supports local economies\, that respects the environment\, biodiversity\, taste\, and tradition. \nFood Traditions\nMost of us have traditional dishes our families prepared when we were young\, and we have evolved our own food traditions as adults. Many of these revolve around holidays\, and others are everyday food that comfort us with reminders of love and community. \nWe believe that keeping these food traditions in our lives helps us to move forward in an increasingly complex world. \nWe invite you to share one of your food traditions with us during the meeting: what is the dish? what memories do you associate with it?

DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen “Clémentine in the Kitchen” first appeared in 1943\, it immediately captivated American readers. Written by the artist Samuel Chamberlain under the pen name Phineas Beck\, it recounts the gastronomic adventures of the Beck/Chamberlain family during the decade that their beguiling Burgundian cook Clémentine produced wonderful French meals for them\, both in France and in their New England home in Marblehead\, MA. An appendix contains 125 recipes–classic dishes\, regional specialties\, and much that is useful for special occasions. But the most compelling are plain and old-fashioned. These are the dishes that identify the Clémentine family style\, a style so French\, so civilized\, so knowing in its use of ingredients that it cannot become impractical or ever go out of date: filets de sole au vin blanc\, boeuf à la mode\, endives braisées― trophies of la cuisine bourgeoise that never fail to please. (Amazon)

SUMMARY:Slow Books: "The Omnivore's Dilemma"
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, February 24\, Slow Books will discuss The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan. We will meet at 5:30 pm at Denaire Nixon’s home in Cloverdale. RSVP required\nWhat should we have for dinner? Ten years ago\, Michael Pollan confronted us with this seemingly simple question and\, with “The Omnivore’s Dilemma\,” his brilliant and eye-opening exploration of our food choices\, demonstrated that how we answer it today may determine not only our health but our survival as a species. In the years since\, Pollan’s revolutionary examination has changed the way Americans think about food. Bringing wide attention to the little-known but vitally important dimensions of food and agriculture in America\, Pollan launched a national conversation about what we eat and the profound consequences that even the simplest everyday food choices have on both ourselves and the natural world. Ten years later\, “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” continues to transform the way Americans think about the politics\, perils\, and pleasures of eating. (Amazon)

SUMMARY:Around the Slow Table with "My Kitchen Year"
DESCRIPTION:Do you like to try new recipes and share the results with a small group of friends? Do you enjoy discussing a dish’s ingredients and process of creating it? If you said YES\, then join us for dinner based on recipes each guest prepares from My Kitchen Year\, by Ruth Reichl.\nLynn Davis’s home in Windsor \nThe address will be sent when you register. \nThis is how it works. Get a copy of My Kitchen Year—and select a few recipes that appeal to you. When you register\, your host will contact you to select which recipe you should prepare and how many people it should feed (a recipe that serves 4-6 people is usually sufficient).\nPlease also bring a beverage to share. \nAt dinner you’ll get to know each other and discuss your experiences preparing your dish. You may also nominate your own favorite cookbook for another Slow Table meal.\nTo register\, please RSVP to slowfoodsonomacountynorth@gmail.com. \nRuth Reichl\, My Kitchen Year\nMy Kitchen Year follows the change of seasons as Ruth Reichl heals through the simple pleasures of cooking after the abrupt closing of Gourmet magazine. Each dish Reichl prepares for herself–and for her family and friends–represents a life’s passion for food: a blistering ma po tofu that shakes Reichl out of the blues; a decadent grilled cheese sandwich that accompanies a rare sighting in the woods around her home; a rhubarb sundae that signals the arrival of spring. Part cookbook\, part personal narrative\, part paean to the household gods\, My Kitchen Year reveals Reichl’s most treasured recipes\, to be shared over and over again with those we love. (Amazon)
